president CLEVELAND, in his speech
before the Philadelphia Commercial
Exchange, last Friday, said:
81 am glad have an opportunity
to meet so large a representation of
the business men of Philadelphia. 1t
Is we'll that we should not entirely
forget in the midst of our Centennial
jubilee that the aim and purpose Of
good government tend after all to the
advancement of the material interest
of the people, and the increase Of
their trade and commerce. The
thought has sometimes occurred to
me that in the hurry and rush of
business there might we'll be infused
a little more patriotism than we are
wont to see, and little more rccogni-
ton of the fact that wholesome
poiit cial sentiment is closely related
not only to the general good, but to
the general success of business. OF
course our citizens engaged in bust
ness are quick too see the bearing OF
any policy which the government
may adopt, as it affects their person
al success and their accumulation.
But would like to see that broad
and patriotic sentiment among them
which can see beyond their peculiar
personal interests, and which can rec
Ognize that the advancement Of the
entire country is an object for which
they may we'll strive, even sometimes
to the diminution Of their constantly
increasing profts.
Must we always look for the poll

precisely where they suppose their
immediate pecuniary advantage is
found2 I know how vain 10 is to hope
for the eradication Of q selfish motive
ia all the affairs Of life; but am re
minded that We celebrate to-day the
triumph Of patriotism over selfshness.
Will any one say that the concess.

made, or that We are not to-day fri

The Pasadena Star flies at its head

ia business-News." That motto is
pitby and to the point. One could not

standing this plain announcement of the
poll tical character of the paper, itsaRe-
publican readers are puzzled at times to
determine the exact texture of its par

The celebration yesterday of the
nations birthday was creditable to our
city in every respect. The decorations
of the houses in all the streets, and
especially in those through which the
procession marched, we're tasteful and
sometimes lavish. Bunting and patri.
otic colors greeted the eye in every
direction, and hundreds of streamers,
from pinnacle and spire and from build
ing to building, gave most joyous and
festive appearance to our city. The
procession was a pronounced success.
We remember but one that could COM
pare with it in interest and in the
attractiveness OF its pageantry. That
was the Centennial Fourth. Relatively
to the present size of our city
that parade must have been
as ext ensve as yesterdays. But there
was a completeness, character and a
representaiiveness in yesterdays grand
procession which gives it pre-eminence.
The military made fine display; the
societies turned out strong; the bands
were numerous and well distributed; the
fireman, with their handsome engines,
were resplendent; the trades and
mechanical arts were we'll and tastefully
repr esonted; and the whole pageant
was one that reflected credit OIL the pub.

to make it success. Our country
cousins were here en- masse, and they
were we'll repaid for their visit.

STILL the monotonous report comes
night after night that the rescuing party.
trying to pierce passage into the Best
& Belcher mine. where five men have
been immured since June oath, has
failed to get through. 1t seems now to
dawn upon the minds of those familiar
with the underground workings of the
Comstock that there is no reliable sur
vey of the slopes and chambers of these
mines; and that the rescuing party are
working blind. II this is fact it is
simply outrageous. and the lives of the
six men imprisoned il the bowels of the
earth may be charged to the criminal inef.
ficiency of the companies owning these
mines. 1t is inconceivable that aQcu-

been made as the work progressed. Il

The City Armed with Do"O'e
Authority.

The Supreme Court has declared the
Vrooman Act constitutional Under
that law all municipalities in the State
are empowered to order and have done
every kind of necessary street improve
ments, to plank, pave or repair all
streets and sidewalks, and to lay down,
construct or repair all sewers needed
for drainage. The only. qualification TO
this power is in section three OF the
Act, which provides that if one-half or
more of the property owners fronting q
projected Improvement shall object pro-
ceedings shall be suspended for SIX
months, at which time the Council shall
decide the question for or against the
protestgnts, and their decision
shall be fin al But this quail
tication can only retard, it cannot defeat,
any improvement which the Council
NAV be determined to have done. 1t
will be seen that this act vests in the gov.
erning authorities of municipalities an
imme nse power; and, when taken in
connection with the fact that under
Ame a dment 3 to the Constitution,
adceted at the recent election, which
authoriz. IS cities Of over 10000 inhabi.
tants to raise money on bonds after the
submission of the question to vote OF
the people, all will concede that there Is
now no lack of power in the council OF
Los Angeles to make the many street
improvements our city SO I'M
peratively needs. 1t was feared
that some of the property.holders along
the lines of Main and Spting streets
would mako trouble for the Council be
fore they would permit that body to
carry out its order to pave those streets.
Blu. with the decision of the Supreme
Court declaring the Vrooman Act con-
stitut,onsl, there is no chance whatever
for them 10 make successful contest.
They will therefore accept the situation,
willy nilly, and let the work go on. The
city is now, indeed, triple-armed with
authority 10 improve our streets; for be.
sides the..powers cited above, our exist
ing city charter authorizes the Council to
pave the streets and construct sewers.
This decision of the Supreme Court
will be bailed with satisfaction by all
citizens who desire to see our streets made
slightly and passable. There will no
longer be the shadow of an excuse for
imprGc ;cable sidewalks end unpaved
thoroa ghfares. If the people desire to
make Los Angeles a model city in re-
spect to her streets and her sanitary i'm
provements, they can do SO. Ample
authority for these purposes reposes in
the hands of their municipal represent
atives. But, as the power is one of
great magnitude, it ought to be exercised
judiciously. The council may be called
upon to make unwise and premature
street improvements in certain localities.
They will therefore be required to exer.
else prudence and good judgment in
every case. Because the law has given
them the power of giant, 1t is not
necessary that they should use it like q
giant on all occasions.
